In this proposal, the objective is to assess the effects of pulsed light (PL) treatment on the properties of biodegradable flexible packaging. Two biodegradable materials will be investigated: PLA (polylactic acid) and a blend of PLA/PBAT (poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)). The flexible packaging will be treated under different PL conditions that are effective for the decontaminati…
